Listen, I get calls all the time in my office about marine engines and about having to use this fuel corroding these engines.

OK. But are there regulatory hurdles that have to be overcome, is there anything we can do in Congress to assist this?

the intent of this bill that we are cosponsoring, Representative Bustos and myself, is to allow or to direct the agency to come up with and to promulgate the rules so that we can do this

another bill that I am cosponsoring, again, along with one of my Democrat colleagues Representative Mark DeSaulnier, is Empowering Pharmacists in the Fight Against Opioid Abuse Act

We need transparency. Sunlight is the best disinfectant out there. We have to have transparency.

I am the one who has to go back to my district and answer these people and they want to know, 20 years, seriously?

I think it takes more than just throwing money at a problem to cure it.

We got a settlement in 2016 and we don't expect funding for years to come, and this is something that happened in 1996.

If it were working out we wouldn't be here now. If it were working out then we wouldn't have had a 1,553 percent increase in prescription drug costs since PBMs started--1,553 percent increase.

Georgia is the number one forestry state in the Nation. I mean, this is extremely important to our state, especially to my district.

I appreciate you being here and that is important. I am not going to apologize for my colleagues and their questions and their aggressiveness.

our ratepayers have paid over a billion dollars, over a billion dollars into the Nuclear Waste Fund to dispose of commercial spent nuclear fuel, yet the Department of Energy hasn't fulfilled its legal obligations and hasn't been disposing…

We are ruining it. The Affordable Care Act is ruining health care in American.

I don't care whose idea it was. I don't care if it was Republicans. I don't care if it was Democrats. It was a bad idea.

I would certainly be remiss if I didn't comment on what--on one of the comments that was just made about the mergers that have taken place in the banking industry here in recent years.

In the State of Georgia we have 159 counties. We've got 48 counties that don't have a locally chartered bank.

That's a lot of taxpayer dollars casually thrown away to prop up yet another failed facet of ObamaCare.

I am a big community bank fan.

I know there's a different in want and in doing. Tell me what you're doing about it.

We need to help these people.

If small community banks go away, small business goes away.

When I would refer--it was a term we kind of used in Georgia. You're aware of what's happened in Georgia?

Again, I want to make sure that the Department is not overstepping their bounds from what we intended for it to be through this legislation.

So you have received the feedback? Are you continuing to receive the feedback?

I want to make sure that you are not overstepping the bounds by what we intended for it to be through this legislation.
